Ringtone pollution

Now a days mobile phone are so common in HK, we have almost 8 million mobile number registed with a population of 7.5 million…

I think it raises a problem, no matter everywhere, anytime you hear ringtones from differnet mobile phones, start from the old fasion default ringtone to pop songs or even dirty words like: “Axxhole, answer your phone!”..

I have personally seen people not answering calls just because they want to show off their ringtone……

I think it gets into a kind of noise pollutions in public places, like in the public transport, library, etc…..

Heard from friends who works as a mobile hacker, in country like Japan, mobile manufacturer are require to limit ringtone volume by law to prevent this kind of “pollution”, many customer of them are user from these country requesting them to increase the ringtone volume by hacking the hardware or firmware……

I understand sometimes it is such a bad thing we miss a call because ringtone volume are too small, but I think people just over-do it and it become a problem..

What do you think about it?
